  • What is your cancellation policy?
    A ninety (90) day notice is required for cancellation and refund of the 10% payment and will incur an $89 cancellation fee. Cancellations made less than ninety (90) days prior to the arrival date are subject to a 20% cancellation fee of the reservation amount. Cancellations or changes that result in a shortened stay, that are made within 60 days of the arrival date, forfeit the full payments made. For reservations that consist of 2 units or an 8-14 night rental, a 120-day notice of cancellation is required prior to arrival date or a 20% cancellation fee of the rental rate will occur. For large groups, part of a group or family reunions that consist of 3 units, a 6-month notice is required or a 20% cancellation fee applies to all units reserved.For groups booking 4 or more units, or reservations longer than 14 days, 10% is due at booking and is refundable with an $89 cancellation fee up until one year (365 days) from the check-in date. Once it is within one year of check-in 50% of the rental total is due and all units are non-refundable. Cancellation or early departure does not warrant any refund of rent. Once inside the 90-day period, modifying the reservation dates does not negate the cancellation fee it would be subject to.
